Another excellent podcast, Daniel. You really made my trip home from work enjoyable--and that's saying a lot.

On my backpacking trip through Europe I actually missed Amsterdam. Unbelievable, eh? Long story to that. Now I actually feel like I've kind of been there.

Looking forward to Season 2!

You know, you could drop by the TGT forums and tell us about it. Just saying.

Hal, maybe it's just me but when I listen to the podcast right on the website, or in the "play in a pop-up" option, it plays superfast and makes you sound like Chip. Or Dale. Not sure which one. I haven't downloaded it for my iPod yet, so can't say if I'll experience the same problem, but I figured since I was listening to it on a Mac to begin with it should've sounded fine.

Anyone else experience that?

Argh. Thanks for letting me know that. I need to reconfigure the file for the correct bit rate. I'm leaving for Gen Con now, so I won't be able to do it till I get back, though; I will take off the on-site play option until then. In the meantime, please download it as it will play just fine on iTunes or any other desktop media player or digital music player. Or check back next Tuesday.

Edit: I just checked the on-site player and it plays fine for me, but the bit rate is double what it should be, which is why it will sound like the Chipmunks on some computers. Anyway, by Tuesday.
